But your question covers four different time periods and therefore four very different sets of circumstances so the real answer isn't as cut and dried as my first paragraph suggests.
10 years ago was 2015. We were in the National League North, Neil Young was a fairly dreadful manager and we were very fortunate to have a club at all. So expectations were very low. Just stay alive and hope.
20 years ago was relegation from League One to League Two and the first half of what became the miracle survival, ultimately with Jim as manager. But the actual year 2005 before Jim was appointed was a pretty desolate time to be a fan.
30 years ago was immediately post Danny and the beginning of Dave Jones. Hopes and expectations fuelled by the success under Danny were pretty high but Jones was an unknown appointment so there was a degree of trepidation about that
40 years ago we were still pottering around in Div 4 and were still five years away from Danny and the success he brought. A season that ended with not having to apply for re-election was a relative success and that was pretty well the case for two decades.
